Preparatory network meeting

→ Europe/Zurich

Present: Heidi, Eli, Ole, Ketil, Simen, Jørgen, Alex, Sohaib, Thomas, Anna

Introduction

  • It would be beneficial if the Norwegian community had a more holistic approach to detector R&D.
    • Need to decide on a format for this network.
    • Would be nice if this network could help in getting more funding for such activities.
  • Note that the future and R&D will be the topic of this years annual NorCC workshop. 

Norwegian participation in the DRDs

  • Interest roundtable:
    • Ketil: TF3 and TF7.
    • Ole: TF3 and TF5. 
    • Alex: Will tag along and help out where he can.
    • Anna: TF5 (and maybe also TF7)
    • More?

Discussion

  • None of the groups have an abundance of manpower. They will be occupied with current activities the coming years. Hard to prioritize R&D activities without specific funding. 
    • This will be important for the younger people, however, and we must make sure that we are not left at the station.
  • Potential next steps:
    • Arrange a meeting in August, in preparation for the yearly NorCC workshop in late September, where we can discuss the TFs mentioned in the roundtable above. Invite extenal speaker(s)?
    • Make a plan for who will attend the different DRD meetings, which can then summarize the activities to this network.
  • Heidi and Ketil will discuss how to proceed based on the feedback given in this meeting.
